Registration Information

Event Details

The same training is also offered on Friday March 22nd just South of Denver (in Lone Tree). Go over to this page to see that event.

Join us to learn how to create mobile apps for iOS, Android, Windows Phone or mobile browsers! We will review the important mobile features of standards like HTML5 and CSS. You will learn how to use a mobile UI framework (jQuery Mobile), how to package your app with a native bridge (PhoneGap) and how to add app features with a Backend-as-a-Service (open-source Usergrid). By the end of the workshop, we will have built a fully-featured app, ready for release on the app store, without having written a single line of server-side code!

Due to the success of our last events in LA and Austin (50 attendees and 20+ people on waitlist), we will offer 2 one-day sessions in Denver! Join us on either the Friday in Lone Tree or Saturday in downtown Denver: we will cover the same content on both days.

Program

8:30am: Doors open — registration and coffee

9am–noon: “Build your first mobile app with HTML5 and a Backend-as-a-Service”

Intro HTML5 and Mobile Apps

Building your static app (jQuery Mobile)

Load data dynamically into your app (Usergrid)

Make your code run as a native app on your Android or iOS device (PhoneGap)

Lunch (provided by Apigee)

1pm–4pm: “Building Social, Local or Gamification into your app”

We continue building our app from the morning and extend it in the direction of your choice!

Adding user accounts to your mobile app

Building social features: friends, follows and newsfeeds

Geolocation / Gamification (2 hours, pick your own adventure block from 2 prepared training scenarios, with room to make this app your own: you can choose to add a currency system, a one-one-one messaging system, a geotargetting element, etc. — allowing you take the morning app in a number of different directions)

some programming experience (understanding of variables, functions, HTTP, etc.) in any language.

Please come to the training with a mobile IDE (XCode, Eclipse for Android, etc.) and the latest PhoneGap/Cordova installed — the steps are documented in these guides. Please make sure you can launch the default (empty) PhoneGap project into your emulator: you should see the droid with the flashing green text load up correctly before you come to the training (step 5A of the Android guide, step “Results” of the iOS guide, step 5 of the Windows Phone guide).

About the Instructor

This one-day training session will be taught by Tim Anglade, public speaker, former Computer Science lecturer, and Head of Developer Programs at Apigee.
